Jim Schoenfeld Quotations
Jim Schoenfeld Quotes about:
-
Coming Quotes
Neither team had much of an edge in the first period, which was a good road period for them and a typical period for us coming off a western trip. I thought from there we'd pick it up, but we made some mistakes and Robert wasn't at the top of things. ... We didn't have enough zip in us to score five or six goals.
-
Al Quotes
Goalies are either going to be the first star because they have to stop so many chances or it's going to be a long night. Once a couple get by you, you start guessing a little bit, and it sort of compounds things. But Al is mentally strong and bounces back. I thought it was a real good show of character. It was 6-0, but there were some timely saves that could have swung the game.
-
Along Quotes
He was the quarterback of the whole thing, so now we have to find someone else to do that job. Sometimes someone steps right in, and sometimes you have to teach them and bring them along a little. But that's what we're here for. We're thrilled that he's in New York - that's where we want our guys to go - and we hope he plays well enough to stay there.
-
Against Quotes
It has been a tough few years for Dale, but he has worked extremely hard. We'll ease him back in a bit, but the one thing he will provide immediately is some leadership, and the more of that you have, the better you are. And he's got an edge to his game, so his presence will make us a much tougher team and a more difficult team to play against physically.
-
Ability Quotes
I think they're both very capable, and I sometimes feel like I'm getting in their way. But like anything, it's sort of a growing process, and as people show the ability to take on more responsibility, I think you have to give it to them. ... We often discuss things, but sometimes I don't want to have input because it might influence them. I want their fresh ideas, and I think they're happiest in those moments. I think they love to take it and run with it, and I would be disappointed if it was any other way because that's the kind of people I think they are.
-
Along Quotes
Too many guys eased themselves into the game instead of playing a hungry game from the get-go. They wanted to test the waters to see if it was going to be too rough for them to handle. You can tell by the guys who won't win a battle along the boards or the guys who won't even get to the boards to get into a battle.
-
Coverage Quotes
We had a disjointed effort. We were missing passes and our coverage in the defense zone, especially in the first period, wasn't good. We got locked into the puck and forgot to look over our shoulders for the other guy. They were ready. We were 6-0 in the series and I'm sure they talked about that.
-
Certainly Quotes
We have to find a way to win with what we have. If you start playing those games in your head, you convince yourself you don't have a good enough roster to win, and I certainly don't want our guys thinking that way. We have a good enough team, so maybe we'll have to win a little differently.
